#Acts 10:34-35; Acts 10:44; Luke 10:2#
Jared explains that the family of God is open to all through Jesus, and everyone has a role in extending the invitation. He focuses on Acts 10, highlighting how God worked in Cornelius’s life before Peter's arrival. Cornelius, a Roman centurion and God-fearer, was devoted to prayer and received an angelic visit, directing him to Peter. Jared emphasizes that God is the primary mover of the human heart, revealing Himself to those who respond. He encourages the audience to believe God is at work in their lives and to join Him in His "Harvest field."
Jared discusses Peter's vision in Joppa, where God declared that nothing He has made clean should be called impure, dissolving barriers between Jews and Gentiles. Upon arriving at Cornelius's house, Peter shares the gospel, and the Holy Spirit falls upon the Gentiles, astonishing the Jewish Christians. Jared urges listeners to be astonished anew by the gospel and to regain a sense of awe and wonder at God's work.
Jared then calls on listeners to be responsive to God's promptings and "go without hesitation," praying, caring, forgiving, sharing their testimony, and inviting others to experience God's love. He introduces the "BLESS" acronym (Begin with prayer, Listen, Eat, Serve, Share) as a practical tool for loving neighbors and changing the world. Jared concludes by sharing Peter's testimony about Jesus, encouraging listeners to commit their lives to Him and trust in His saving power.
